I'm finally on the Internet... I guess my 5 1/2 year old laptop finally got over its hatred of hotel wireless networks or something.

I have no allergies. I laugh at people with runny noses this time of year.

I take that first thing back. I'm allergic to the rabies vaccine.

For being in Rolla over spring break since Wednesday afternoon, these past four days actually went by quite quickly.

Stupid NBC... leave us with a cliffhanger on Scrubs, don't air an episode the next week and then play supersized episodes of The Office and 30 Rock, delaying Scrubs until 8:20 so my preset weekly recording is off... thanks

I'll have to wait until it shows up on Seek or torrents start popping up in a couple of days

In all seriousness, this is all a bunch of BS. I tried to avoid all the nonsensical drama / hypocrisy, but it still tracks me down. I want to go against the grain and do what I want to do, then get torn down because of it. I hate it.

Mitchell, think of all the money you're going to be saving. ImageImageImageImage

Hence why I didn't even bother setting myself up for failure in an effort to find a prom date.

This is at least the 1603rd time you've mentioned this on this board alone.

My Junior and Senior years, a group of friends and me got together and played Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash during homecoming and Prom. I think there was some Vice City in there, too.

I went to A prom my senior year, but not MY prom, which I was proud to avoid.

Sophomore year I got drafted to go to Webb City's prom with someone I didn't know... Not an entirely fun experience. She later became my boss, and pregnant with one of five of her previous one night stands... Crazy stuff.

Last year I went with a sophomore who was friends with a Senior, who wound up not going. She never answered any of my phone calls until two hours before prom; I wasn't happy with that so I told her to drive herself. Not the nicest of motions, but I gorram expect somebody to at least call and ask for plans.

Ah, good times, good times.

My wife was taking a college class a few years ago, and there was this little old lady in her class (20th century culture, I think is what it was). She was this little old grandmother type for the entire class until one day the topic turned towards youth culture. She then talked for five minutes about the makeout parties she attended in the 1950s.

If you go to NBC's website, you can watch like the last 5 episodes of almost every show they currently air. I'm pretty sure one of them is Scrubs.

Btw, this is frickin' hysterical:

Exactly why I posted the picture (and someone posted it to seek earlier)... horrible, horrible irony. Hopefully nothing terribly important was on it, though the "frantically" part of the note seems to imply otherwise...

ASP.NET should not allow a programmer to name a button "submit". Stupid Microsoft...

I spent over an hour trying to figure out why something wasn't working and eventually discovered that it was because the button to submit the form was named "submit"... as a result, the ASP.NET-generated javascript was trying to call the button object as a function... that definitely doesn't work.

This was on one of the first pages I ever added so the button was named "submit" out of inexperience (I soon realized I should name buttons something else to be safe)

That note holding the floppy to the fridge is in German.

Ich kann Deutsch etwas lesen.

Something like that - I can read some German is what it's supposed to say, but I doubt that it literally says that. My German teacher would probably be disappointed, to say the least.

So it does. I just noticed that the board time I have set is one hour off.

You are forgiven for your early boardage, Chuq, as I was also awake at 715. Although that was only because I had a final at 730. Which I rocked into the ground, BTW.

There were 110 points possible on the organic ... I quite possibly could have gotten that :-P.

I did not need to score that highly as I had gotten a 104 on the last test... which I was unaware of until I was already taking the final.
